MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the Faculty
FROM: Gordon W. Blackwell
Since some publicity has recently been given to a talk I made to
the students on February 9, I thought you might like to have a copy.
You should know that my appearance before the students on that
date had been scheduled for several months. On the Friday and Saturday
before, the community had come close to a major race riot. Only those
who were in the stores can appreciate the seriousness of the situation,
It was because of this that I felt compelled to speak to the students on
this subject.
I might add that since that time I have been doing everything I
can to help achieve a satisfactory resolution of the problem. Lines of
communication have been established in which rational consideration
hopefully will prevail in an atmosphere of calm.
